A simple immersion method was used for surface W doping of BiVO₄ photoanode. Ciprofloxacin (CIP) was used as a pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) model contaminant to study the surface state behavior of W-BiVO₄ photoanode for CIP degradation. The results show that low concentration of W doping has no significant effect on the crystal structure, surface morphology and optical absorption performance of BiVO₄ photoanode. However, W doping replaces V⁵⁺ on the surface of BiVO₄ photoanode, inhibiting the V⁵⁺/V⁴⁺ reduction process on the surface of BiVO₄ photoanode and reducing the surface state acting as recombination centre. It can also introduce more oxygen vacancies and increase the surface state acting as reaction sites. CIP degradation reaction is controlled by surface active sites. Surface W doping can effectively promote the charge transfer for CIP degradation, thereby improving the photoelectrocatalytic degradation performance of BiVO₄ photoanode.
